It's worth noting that although the lawsuits were issued yesterday, the consortium was finalised in June 2011 when all of the group members were strongly involved in non-Android smartphones.

It's not unreasonable to suspect that this action was planned as part of that formation and priced into the bid.

I'm not sure about Sony. I can't remember any non-Android smartphones they had in 2011.

Presumably Sony are hoping to be the last Android manufacturer, because all of the rest have been sued?
